two members of congress are out over more section muscle why is machine kowk difficult gas stations. a government shutdown averted at least for now. the attacks. nuclear war with the u s is inevitable. and a pearl harbor event serenades the president during a ceremony at the white house. this is the final five. let's do this. you know, we got up this morning and thought okay, one member of congress was stepping down, by the end of the night two were out. the surprise one came at about 5:00. republican congressman trent franks of arizona. he's going to lea

we're getting some more in sit on this. this is a new one. franks says he never intimidated , coursed or intimidated anyone on his of is it a. he claims the dispute came about incur sewer casey. how the discussion of such an intensely personal topic might affect others and he regrets his discussion with two staffers who said the whole thing made them feel uncomfortable. al franken said he's leaving after half a dozen women accused him of misconduct. franken made it clear he didn't think he should have to leave his job. he gave a very define the speech on the senate floor. he basically said sorry, not sorry. i of all people many aware that there i

some irony in the fact that i am leaving while a man who has brag ged on tape about his history of sexual assault sits in the oval office and a man who has repeatedly prayed on young girls campaigns for the senate with a full support of his party . but this desilings is not about me. it's about the people of minnesota. and it's become clear that i can't both pursue the ethics committee process and at the same time remain an effective senator for them. frank had originally tried to write ride out the charges. after the resignation of democrats turned up the heat on franks to resign. women in congress

a watershed for the hashtag me moment. the democrats have pain fully moved forward. conyers said he's got to go. the democratic senators have said the same thing about al franken even though most of what he did was before he even became a senator. it seems to me a new standard has been set. i think the focus right now needs to be much more on what can we do to right things for the victims. in somebody here in congress left their job because they felt they are were being sexually harassed how do we make sure that doesn't happen in the future. fran

the president met with chuck and nancy and paul and mip and apparently they all got along just fine. we're all here as a unified group. it's a well-knit together group of people and we hope that we're going to make some great progress for our country. i think that will happen. trument president trump is hoping to. a new report from cnn claims there are previously undisclosed e-mails that shows there was a followup after that infamous june 2016 meeting. donald tru j

meeting. djtj claimed at first it was to discuss russian adoptions and then he claimed it was about hillary. the british publicist who set up the meeting sent e-mails to. cnn says conscious alg \{^al}\als found the e-mails. none of the e-mails were sent directly to trump jr. now we know president trump is not happy about the russian investigation. he said it's a partisan witch hunt and early this week he took aim at the fik. it's reputations is in tatters, worst in history. defending the buffer oh four day s after the president blasted it on twitter. this was ray's first testimony for the house judiciary committee since taking over in august. this is a job

congress men, there is no shortage of opinions out there. what i can tell you is that the fbi that i see is tens of thousands of agents and analysts and staff working their tails off to keep americans safe from the next terrorist attack, gang violence, child pred tor tornado watches, spies from north korea, china and iran. the criticism came after michael flynn pleaded guilty to lying about the fbi about his contact with russians ray promised fiive employees will be held accountable if appropriate. there is a new warning tonight from north korea . i know as we go into the weekend that's exactly what we want on our minds, north korea. they're making war unavoidable. the threat from the north is a growing concern. it's getting more dangerous. i think if you look at the

compared to the one before it they certainly had advances. there are concerns about safety for the upcoming winter olympics which are being held in south correspond rea. the white house caused confusion when sarah hug bisanders said this about the participation in the games. no official decision has been made on that and we'll keep you guys posted as those decisions are made. i know the goal is to do so, but that will be a decision made closer in time of i think that's an inner agency process, but i think ultimately the president would certainly weigh in. sanders tried to clarify later on with a statement saying the us looks forward to taking part in the winter olympic, the safety of americans is a top priority and they are partners with others. the next big missile test is going to happen during the opening ceremonies during the olympic

an eye on that. it was a bit of a surprise, probably the soc. this is pearl harbor day, december 7, 1941 a date which will live in in familiar my or as the president wrote a day that ill with live in in familiar my, and the first lady tweeted november 7, 1941 which would be a month off. today the president signed a prok lamtion he always welcomed five veterans who survived the attack today. george, thank you, george. that was a pretty wild scene. you'll never forget that, right. >> pretty wild scene. he saw the 2001 movie tarring ben affleck. there was a pretty remarkable moment when one of the veterans in attendance broke out in a song. remember pearl ha

before a couple of times? remember pearl harbor. >> remember pearl harbor just remember pearl harbor. we shall always how they died for liberty . just remember pearl harbor and go on victory. retired senior chief quarter master was assigned to the uss pennsylvania back in 1941 and to micky and his fellow heros and to anybody who served out there tonight, we always thank you very much for your service. up next, open enrollment almost over. what can congress do to stabilize the system in the new year? we're going to talk about it right after the break.

in spite of two failed

at repealing in just over a week the people who buy from the healthcare coverage. as we look at healthcare as a whole is it stable going into the next year anything is possible. this is d.c. nate is from he insurance he's up late. how is it going in. >> i'm doing great. how are you >> we know where you're coming from. tell us what e health insurance is. >> sure. so e health.com we built the online marketplace for health insurance. the company has been around for 20 years. we are a public company. we built the original software and immerse platform to sell individual insurance products online so that essentially the obamacare products now you can get at healthcare. golf. we're essentially a broker for a bunch of insurance companes. there was so much

into summertime. what was the a ca going to stick around? was it not. now we know it is going to stick around. when you look at health insurance in the broad scheme of things. as people go to those exchanges and lock that in, is that stable through 2018 there's still a lot in flux, it seems. well, you know it's really a tail of two cities. if you are a lower income person, if you qualify for a tax credit, you have never gotten a better deal than you're getting this year. no in a number of markets people are get ping essentially free health insurance. when some of the cost sharing subsidies were taking out of the silver level plans in the marketplace that previously really drove the premiums through the roof. the way that obamacare works, the more expensive that plan the bigger the subsidies get. people are buying down. they're buying bronze pla

zero dollars. we have people buying gold plans and getting gold plans for less. so if you're qualifying for the tax credit, life has never been better in many respects, but if you don't then it's really un affordable. so we have a situation where it's really un sustainable for that un subsidized customer. what's the best case scenario moving ahead because i know there is a lot of talk about the individual mandate. what can be done to make this a little more predictable, a little more stable regardless of how you feel about the aca as it tans now? i'm not a public policy guy. what i would tell you, what they need to do is make the tax credits more broadly available so the house bill, paul ryan's bill did that. it was a very simple easy to get tax credit that anybody could qualify for. there was

essentially the aaca punishes work, if you're making too much money they rip your tax credit away completely so there's this massive cliff. so i think making it similar to the employer based tax why where i get an unlimited subsidy for my health insurance because i work for a company so i think an individual should get the same thing. that should be something that they should look at to make it universally acceptable, make it fair for somebody who want to start a business or drive uber, they should get the same credits as everybody else. that would get a lot of young people n. it's all income based so it's a little bit like turbo tax rear sus filing your taxes at the irs . it's probably easier to do it at turbo tax and if they made it sort of universal, just based on your age it would be really simple you'd get a lot of younger people enrolling. we'd get more young people than we

out the risk pool in. we'd get younger people in. i hope we get a little bit more sanity and some bipartisanship in d.c. and take an objective look at this and see how can we treat people more fairly not discourage people for making more money and treat them fairly. >> there's a lot going on many what's the website people can check you out if they have any questions or want to see where you're coming from. e health .com and we're a free service and we'd love to help. i appreciate you staying up late with us. and we're back on the final five with more after this.

an absolutely freak out he made during a committee meeting. this is representative disairl cat's reaction after a ear lawmaker, who is a democrat lightly touched his arm. i hear you. i understand there's some hard healings with penndot. here it comes. i'm a heterosexual. i have a wife. i love my wife. i don't like men as you might. stop touching me all the time. keep your hands to yourself. if you want to touch somebody, there are people on your side of the aisle that might like it. i don't. that happened. here's something about medicine calf.

fire brand. calm down darryl. i think that's really the best way to put it. as i tell you all the time. that's exactly the reaction i wanted from you. i'm kind of mad that we didn't get the visceral reaction. there was no visceral reaction. i don't think he even saw it. for the record, that lawmaker married, four kids. was he worried that someone would see the other lawmaker touching his arm. i can't talk to you anymore. >> there are people out there that see it, right on, darryl. you get him, darryl. >> a guy out in los angeles who tried, but failed to put up a 1l walker from the fast and furious is turning his attention to a new cause, chad kroger is fight ing for the right to party. ch

lawmakers, don't do it, bro. my first introduction introduction to man hood told to me. his parents were in tahoe at the time so we tore that weekend up it was epic and i was super stoaked. my newfound confidence gave me the courage to ask out the most popular girl in school lauren stockholder. she reject ed me and i had to go with stacy macmillan, but i didn't care because i was so clamped on chugging with my boys. that's what house parties do. this guy is fantastic t. it's great to see a young person getting involved in politicsment i want to hear his proposal for the paul walker statue. if you're going to make one for paul walk er, make one for paul hand

furious episodes. >> how many of the fast and furious open soadz have you seen >> pretty much all of them. >> what are we up to? a. eight. i think something like that. the original fast break, same movie. same exact plot. i could explain this later. i am eat going to go into it. just think about it. those five of you who have seen both. i was letting him go all into it. producer christie is -- thank you very much. this new day looks nothing like yesterday... trails are covered... paths aren't what they used to be... roads nowhere to be found.... ♪♪♪
